A Letter from Sister Miner (The Mission President's Wife)

Dear Parents,

Your daughters arrived safely to our mission with smiling faces after many many hours of travel!! We are grateful to you for raising such wonderful daughters. They are excited to get to work and begin to use this hard language they have learned. We spent the day yesterday with them and their trainers teaching them and orienting them to the mission. Their trainers are some of our very best missionaries.

This is the Lord’s work and we see His Hand in it every day. The members here are warm and welcoming and they love the missionaries. Your daughters will have an opportunity to bring others unto Christ and to strengthen the branches in the Church here. The members here are mostly first generation in the church so the missionaries help in so many ways.

We have wonderful, strong missionaries in this mission. It is a very obedient mission and the Lord protects us and blesses us in His work. Please know that we love your daughters and all the missionaries serving here. All of our children have served missions with our youngest daughter now serving in Mexico. We care for them and love them as we would our own children. We want to help them succeed and learn in the Lord’s way.
